## Historique du projet et usages

oq is a Crystal-written wrapper around `jq` that converts non-JSON formats into JSON for filtering and then serializes the result back out. Its core idea is to keep jq's filter language while adding practical YAML and XML input/output paths.

### Historique du projet

George Dietrich introduced oq in a 2019 article after comparing existing jq-adjacent tooling and wanting a more portable, higher-performance option for large non-JSON documents. The project goals were portability, performance, and extending the formats that jq can handle without replacing jq's filter language.

The 1.x series broadened oq from a CLI into a small Crystal library as well. Release notes for v1.2.0 describe library support, a SimpleYAML format for streamable large inputs, and better handling of multiple non-JSON files; v1.3.0 added XML namespace options and forced-array behavior for XML parsing.

### Historique d'adoption

oq remains a niche developer utility, but it has enough packaging surface to be available through Homebrew, Alpine, MacPorts, and Nix in the input metadata. Homebrew describes it as a performant and portable jq wrapper, with Crystal required only for source builds.

### Modes d'utilisation

A typical use keeps jq syntax in place and adds format flags, such as reading YAML with `-i yaml`, writing XML with `-o xml`, or using the tool as a Crystal dependency through `OQ::Processor`. That makes it useful in shell scripts where JSON, YAML, and XML need the same transformation logic.

### Pourquoi les passionnés de paquets s'y intéressent

oq is package-nerd interesting because it does less than a full data-query language and more than a one-off converter. It packages the proven jq execution model with format adapters and a single-binary distribution story, which is often the sweet spot for command-line glue.

### Chronologie

- 2019: The author publishes the oq introduction and motivation.
- 2021-02-27: v1.2.0 adds library support, SimpleYAML, and improved multiple-file handling for non-JSON inputs.
- 2021-08-17: v1.3.0 adds XML namespace controls and XML force-array behavior.
- 2024-04-04: v1.3.5 is tagged.

### Related projects

- oq depends conceptually on jq and overlaps with yq-style data conversion workflows. Its implementation and library surface are tied to Crystal, libyaml, and XML/JSON conversion behavior.
